ARZ TN Jets by sos have been eliminated from securing the #1 regardless if they win or lose?

Thanks SF
NO and Cin would be good bets to win
Lions I would think since Bears have home field round 1
Gonna be a close one…
Nope. Bears will be playing to win. A win gives them 2nd seed, which gives them a home game in the divisional round and a better shot at HFA in the conference game.

So far we're 0-fer on help at clinching the #1 overall pick. Might have to do all the work ourselves.

Dallas has two first round picks this year that we could probably get for Maxx. If we secure #1 today, it would net us 3 first rounders plus the first pick in each round.

That would give Spytek a lot to work with as well as any new HC.

Does the team have the cap space for Maxx? They have so many fat contracts. Currently a negative ($33,014,487) cap space for 2026.

I don't think they go after a big name with their cap problems. I think they keep those picks myself.

If we win today what do we need to happen for us to stay at 1? How low can we possibly fall with a win?

I saw an article yesterday calling for the Giants to be investigated.
Of course.. I think I saw articles every Monday calling for refs from one or two games to be investigated.

I think were around 84% chance of #1, assuming KC has 65% chance of beating us and NYG have 45% chance vs Dal.

Giants win gets us #1 no matter what.
If Giants lose and we win, we still get #1 if Bengals, Lions, and Saints all win. We would win SOS tiebreaker with them in that case.

I don't see all 3 of games going our way, so need Giants win, or Raiders loss.
